Newborns!
Posted on February 3, 2010
My wife and I just had our baby less than 6 months ago and we’ve already forgotten how small he started out. Our little guy was only 6lbs 7oz which is tiny. I love getting to shoot families and newborns. It’s such a special time of life. Something I’ve created for families is photo packages that document pregnancy, newborn photos and then a couple different photo shoots up until one year then we put an album together. There is so much change in the first year and it’s fun to have that progression. Here’s my favorite photo from a recent newborn session.

Colorado with Family
Posted on January 8, 2010
Lindsay and I headed out to Colorado for Christmas to spend some time with her family. I love being out there. We had a gorgeous white Christmas and I had to shoot a bunch of photos of my little boy. It was his first time seeing snow (don’t know if he cared but I did). All the little baby snow outfits are so cute. They have little ears on everything and Declan looked like a little bear cub. Loved it! I wanted to share some photos from our trip:
Mom and Dad out on a stroll with the little guy!
Really, does it get much cuter??
This face is a favorite of mine:
Grandpa here was teaching Declan to shoot people with water as they waited to get their Christmas meal. They got Lindsay pretty good! Loved it.

The Hayes Family
Posted on December 6, 2009
Do you ever shoot photos and just know there are going to be some great shots. It always helps having very good looking subjects, but let’s be serious. I think little Liam is one of the best looking little guys I’ve ever met. Jenny and Kevin aren’t so bad themselves either. I love these first couple shots of Liam:
Look at this one!
These two are film shots.
Introducing Mom and Dad. Also shot on film:
And on our way out, Kevin spotted this bobcat. This is in Irvine, CA. Crazy to see this guy. I want a pet bobcat!

Missy, Chad and Lily
Posted on December 1, 2009
This is the time of year that I end up so busy and crazy that things like blog posts get left behind. I have around 10 different shoots to post so you can expect more frequent updates from here till Christmas. We’ll take the shoot of Missy, Chad and Lily to start out. First of all, how cute is little Lily?? Missy and Chad aren’t so bad themselves.
I came home from this shoot knowing that if I ever have a daughter, I will be such a sucker for her. Little girls melt my heart. As I was shooting photos of Missy and Chad, Lily wanted me to hold her. So I’m firing of photos with a 70-200 lens on my camera with one hand and in the other, this cute little 2 year old. At the end of the shoot she gave me a big hug and a kiss on the cheek. I came home and told Lindsay I want a daughter at some point! I hope you love their photos as much as I do…

Families!!
Posted on November 3, 2009
Tis the season to get some family photos done! I definitely wouldn’t consider myself a family photographer but I do shoot for good friends and a few fun families I’ve shot over the years. I wanted to post some of my favorites from a couple of the recent shoots!
Baby Dylan
Posted on October 21, 2009
Shooting photos of baby Dylan was so fun for me because he is almost exactly the same age as our little boy. Dylan is such a cute little guy with amazingly sweet parents. Here are a couple shots from the afternoon:

Our good friend Jessica Claire stopped by the hospital to say hi and snapped some shots off so dad (I) could be in a few of the photos. Jessica is so great and of course, these photos are soo sweet. Thanks Jess!

Declan Cade Flynn
Posted on August 11, 2009
My wife went into labor Saturday night at 12:30am and I got the call as I was finishing up a wedding in Napa. The airports were closed and I was a 9hr drive away. I almost borrowed a car but figured that would be too dangerous after realizing how tired I already was. I ended up catching an early flight and making it to the birth in time. Lindsay was in labor for 17 hours!! One of the most amazing, incredible experiences I’ve been through. Straight after the birth, the doctor put baby Declan right on mom’s chest. Lindsay and I caught eyes and at the same time, tears started flowing. Such a special moment. We’re finally home and I now have internet to post. I know Lindsay’s family back in Colorado is dying to see some of these shots.
I literally started crying as I went back through these photos. He is so stinking cute!!!
I shot this photo this morning. He just got done feeding and was sitting up leaning into my hand with his little arms around my wrist. It was the sweetest moment and had to snap a photo!
I love this shot. This was as the nurse measured Declan’s length. He was exactly 20 inches!
Our friend Andrea grabbed my camera and snapped some great photos of the actual delivery since I was an active participant. This was the moment Declan was first put on Mom’s chest and I shot a few on film with my Mamiya.
This was literally straight from birth, then mom’s chest to get wiped down and weighed. It already feels like he’s changed so much.
And a shot with Declan and my two brothers!! LOVE this one.
